Chapter 8 Fighting Thief One
After Xiahou Yu sent the two children to his carriage and covered them with a thick layer of clothes, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he has also seen beggars and lonely children in various news on TV, when they really stood in front of him, his whole heart was gripped. Although he had already had the determination to see the separation and reunion of the world and separation of life and death in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when such a young child stood in front of him with a trembling body on such a cold day, he suddenly felt ashamed of facelessness.
Indeed, whether in a modern society with good public security or turning to Xiahou’s family, he didn’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. This year he was happy to be a turtle in Cao Cao’s mansion, and he was satisfied with his spring and snow in the small courtyard every day, using this to numb himself. This world is not as chaotic as history writes, and in fact most places are peaceful.
But just a few days after walking out, just after leaving the protection of the Cao family, the bloody reality slapped his face.
The world is very chaotic, the people are suffering, and most people are living with all their might.
Recalling the indifferent statements in "The Three Kingdoms", Xiahou Yu couldn't help but bit his teeth. At this time, he suddenly hated this era and this era of talents emerged because he found that every shining talent was made up of the piles of white bones with no height.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Chun suddenly patted his back from behind.
Xiahou Yu, who woke up, looked at Cao Chun with a serious expression and made him look. He followed Cao Chun to the outside of the carriage, and a soldier stood next to him. Not far from the soldier was the body of the father of the two children.
"What's wrong!" Xiahou Yu looked at the corpse not far away. Although he felt a desire to vomit in his heart, he still forced himself to suppress it.
"Look at it, this man was seriously injured and died. Although the road he came was buried by the heavy snow last night, I could think of what happened." Cao Chun squatted down and lifted the back of the corpse, and a knife wound from top to bottom from shoulder to waist was clearly presented in front of everyone.
"This man was cut from behind, but even though he was so heavy, he still ran nearly five miles with his two children, and finally he bleeded too much and fell here. Oh, he was a man, what a pity." Cao Chun looked in the direction of the convoy and continued to say
"I judged this because I walked through this road. There was a small village almost five miles ahead. I was expected to take some supplies there after I arrived at noon. But now it seems that the village should have been attacked by strong men like bandits." After closing the corpse's clothes, Cao Chun stood up, feeling very troubled by this sudden situation.
"So if we were in the past now, we would probably meet those thieves!" Recalling the two children in the car, a sharp light flashed in Xiahou Yu's eyes.
"Don't be impulsive, Ziqing. I know you have been in the city and have never seen these dire straits outside. It is normal for a moment to get hot, but now it is not only us, but also relatives of each brother. We cannot take that risk." Seeing Xiahou Yu's eyes, Cao Chun pressed his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Even if we want to let each other go, we may not want to let us go!" Recalling the geometric map we saw last night, Xiahou Yu suddenly said as he looked at the thin snowy road ahead.
"Why did Ziqing say this?"
When Cao Chun heard Xiahou Yu say this, he was still a little panicked. Because if he was just himself and these hundred cavalrymen, he would not be sure even if he met who was afraid of who he was afraid of.
But now there are still family members and servants, a total of about 100 people who need to protect themselves. This huge team of dozens of carriages will force their cavalry to move, and the cavalry that cannot move quickly is not much better than infantry.
At that time, as long as the opponent attacks the convoy and nails them to death next to the carriage, even if he is carrying the most elite troops, he will be extremely likely to lose.
The key is that it’s nothing to die in battle, but Cao Chun dared not think about what would happen if so many families were plundered by strong men.
"We didn't see any signs of large troops marching on the way yesterday, so the other party would only come from the opposite side. According to the death of this man and the clothes on the child, they should have been raided when it was just dark and were about to fall asleep. It was so cold last night that the group of people would definitely not leave. So they could only leave that village today.
But keep walking here, thirty miles away is a county town, which is also the place we are preparing to settle down today. They have snatched the property of the entire village, and they will inevitably use a car to pull it away when they leave. In this case, walking towards the county town will not only be very conspicuous, but also very easy to be caught. Therefore, if they want to walk, they must be the direction we are coming. From here, they will enter a forest ten miles away. When they are discovered, they will have no choice but to look at the forest when the army arrives."
Xiahou Yu quickly spoke out his judgment, and Cao Chun's face turned worse after hearing his judgment. Because he knew that Xiahou Yu's inference was almost the same. If he hadn't had these two children, he would probably have collided with the bandits head-on.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen at that time.
"Ziqing has a clever plan!" Seeing Xiahou Yu's eyes without any panic, Cao Chun grabbed his hand as if he was holding a life-saving straw.
It is definitely unrealistic to avoid robbers with so many people and so many cars. Even if you abandon your car and run away with your family, let alone whether you are enough or not, even if you only bring your direct family, there are still many children who don’t understand or have not learned the art of riding and harnessing. If you fall down on this road or get caught up by the other party and lose a few more, Cao Chun can directly ask his personal soldiers to send his head to Cao Cao to calm everyone’s anger.
